Product Description
Small board, big attitude. The Powell Peralta Vato Rats 7.0" Purple Fade complete brings an iconic graphic and compact control together in a setup that feels quicker and more responsive than bulkier, wider boards. Compared to basic completes, its AirLam birch construction and Skate One component mix deliver a more dialed ride you can trust from day one.
Made from strong, light, hard yellow birch and fused with water‑resistant glue in proprietary Powell‑Peralta AirLam presses, this deck is built for maximum stiffness, strength, pop, and durability. The 7.0" width, 28.0" length, and 11.5" wheelbase keep things nimble. Mini Logo trucks use premium alloys, high‑rebound bushings, and heat‑treated axles; Powell‑Peralta 53 mm 90a Street wheels roll smoothly; and Bones Reds bearings are Skate Rated with precision-ground races, mirror‑smooth balls, a high‑speed nylon retainer, Speed Cream lubricant, and a removable shield for easy cleaning. Deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings are all warranted against manufacturer defects.
